application on 25 March 2014. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted
of your application, together with all Material submitted in
support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes,
regulations and policies. ,
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was .
, insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Marine Corps and entered a period of active
duty on 27 January 1997. You received a waiver for pre- -service
‘drug use. You were also convicted by a summary court- -martial of
the wrongful. use of marijuana. You were then advised that your
command was administratively separating you with an other than
honorable (OTH) characterization of service due to misconduct.
You waived your procedural right to an administrative discharge
board (ADB). On 15 September 1999, you received an OTH
characterization of service discharge due to misconduct, and:
were assigned an RE-4B (in-service drug use) reentry code. ©
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, medical
issues, remorse, and current desire to upgrade your discharge.
However, the Board concluded that your discharge should not be
changed due to your drug abuse. The Board noted that you waived
the right to an ADB, your best opportunity for retention or a
better characterization of service. You are advised that no
discharge is upgraded automatically due solely to the passage of
time or post service good conduct. In view of the above, your
application has been denied...The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request.
rt is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such
that favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have
the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and
material evidence or other matter not previously considered by
the Board. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that
a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official
naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
- existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
SES, Ka
